It was a cool Sunday afternoon at Candlestick Park. The San Francisco 49ers faced 3rd down and 3

In the process of winning the most division titles (21), making the most Super Bowl appearances (8) and holding the most playoff wins (34) – there’s been a herd of clutch performances that will never fade or be erased like chalk off a blackboard. Legendary coaches and players have made their mark for their rising to the occasion aspects that’s lingered through the NFL’s historical captured highlights from NFL Films – reminding us why and when the building blocks of upper

Despite all these limiting factors it did not stop him from leading the team to a 20 consecutive wins. The Oakland A’s were different from other teams. They did not let anything stop them, they did extraordinary things. As their salary decreased they got better, this is very unusual. The new approach; sabermetrics helped the team change and improve in a short about of time. This new approach caused problems for the Oakland A’s. It caused problems with the team; Billy and the Oakland scouts. Some people and teams hate sabermetrics and think it does not help with winning.

It is the state championship game and your team has rose up from the bottom of the ranks. Even though you are the underdog, your team has pushed through any obstacles that were thrown in your way. You are much smaller than the number one team in the state, but you still find a way to keep the game tied. You are the senior quarterback and it would mean everything if you won. The fans are all in the stands screaming and you smile as you take in your last experience under the Friday night lights. There are two minutes left in the second half and the ball gets snapped on the third down at the 20 yard line. You catch the ball and look around frantically. All of your receivers are covered and you decide you have to run, but before you can move, a 300 pound linebacker slams you to the ground. A flag is thrown, but it is too late, everything goes black, after a few seconds, you regain sight, but you are still in a daze. You slowly stand up, but fall over immediately. You have a few seconds to rest while the ref is checking on you, your head is pounding as you feel the concussion, but you want to keep playing. Your coach leaves it up to you, and you step back out onto the field. You are now at the 15 yard line and the ball is snapped. You make eye contact with your wide receiver and pass the ball, it sails through the air. As you watch it leave your hand, you see the same linebacker out of the corner of your eye. Everything goes black again, but this time you don’t wake up. This

As time ticked away in the fourth quarter, the Denver Broncos started working on running the clock down. They ran the ball as much as they could then would punt the ball down the field and count on the Broncos defense to keep Cam Newton from getting the Panther offense going. And it worked. Von Miller, who was so big for Denver’s defense in the first half, caused Newton to fumble and the Broncos recovered the ball on the four yard line.

Although Donnell Wilson actually caught the winning throw, it may have been more of a coincidence than an amazing play.

In the annual Ely Tigers versus Dillard Panthers football game, there was a play caught at the last minute, giving the Ely Tigers the win. The score was 14-10, and Donnell Wilson caught the winning touchdown pass. How he caught it, no one was quite sure. All they knew was in the Ely-Dillard football game, the winning catch was caught by Donnell, it was lucky, and it was a team effort.

The Game was something that was annual and everyone was excited for it; but when it reached the end of the game everything changed. Tom Richard, a newspaper reporter, stated “Wilson made a leaping catch and landed safely in the end-zone capping an improbable come from behind win for the Tigers” (Doc 1). This

QB1 The book QB1 and the author Mike Lupica with 244 pages is about a kid named Jake trying to be the starting quarterback for his high school football team Granger. He is a kid of other great quarterbacks from his city and he is trying to be the next great Cullen kid. Jake is a quarterback trying be the starter for his team. He is a freshman though so he is guessing he won't play at all this whole year.

The stage was set, an all-out brawl between Notre Dame and Boston College at a frigid eleven degrees. The contest started with a swift Touchdown after a 63 yard drive dominated by passing. Flutie executed what seemed as a perfect drive except for the PAT. Boston’s kicker slipped on the frozen turf and the kick was blocked. ND quickly responded with their own TD and the games’ only completed PAT. After this point it became worse and worse for the BC Eagles. Most of their problems were special teams related. By the half BC was down 19 to 6.

From September 11, 1924 (Moritz 270), through the late 1960’s, Tom Landry accomplished a lot of things in his life, and set new trends for many years to come. Whether it be high school football star, or flying combat missions with the United States Air Force. Whether it be playing collegiate football, and really excelling, or actually moving on to a professional football career. Whether it be transforming from player to coach, and leading way for years to come and different programs; Tom Landry had experienced it all. Tom Landry was a great coach and player, whose leadership made him a hero, and a prestigious name in the football world.

In a sport know for it's violent nature, the Niners made using their mark brains rather than brawn. they were lead by the sideline offensive mastermind Bill Walsh, who looked like a college professor than an NFL, Joe Montana possibly the Goat and with Jerry Rice who delicately picked apart defense with a short passing game that would become known as the west coast offense. Indeed, finesse was the calling card of this offensive judgment that won it all after the 1981, 1984, 1988, 1989 seasons and featured eventual hall of FamersMontana, Jerry Rice and Steve Young. Walsh offensive genius (carried on by coordinator Mike Holmgren when Walsh retired following the 88 season) that helped the 49ers lead in the NFC total offense Seven times during

I went to see a great game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers. First they started to flip the coin when Packers called tails and it landed on tails and they chose to receive. The Dallas kicked and Packers gained 19 yards. Then they lost 5 yards or -5 because they got tackled behind the line of scrimmage and its now 2nd and 15. The Packers threw the ball 10 yards and they caught the ball and gained 12 and now have a first down. 1st quarter was over and Green lost 18 yards or -18. Green Bay threw the ball and Dallas intercepted the ball picking up 12 yards before being tackled.

During the first quarter of the game, things went by relatively slow. Both teams remained scoreless, while Tom Brady (Patriots quarterback), and Peyton Manning (Broncos quarterback) struggled to find their way into the end zone. Of course, as the game progressed, both quarterbacks were able to warm up, and Peyton Manning was finally able to find Owen Daniels (Broncos wide receiver) for a 21- yard reception to score the first

When asked who is the greatest coach to lead a NFL team to the Super Bowl, Vince Lombardi’s name would be mentioned. He took the worst team in the NFL and transformed them to be the best. His team succeeded to win 6 divisional titles, 5 NFL championships, and 2 back to back Super Bowls. Vince Lombardi was both a visionary and ethical leader by leading his team through a new way of systematic thinking and obstacles. In this essay, I will state claims on how he became a visionary leader. Two core concepts came to play while researching his life. The first was how he displayed inspirational motivation while guiding his players to the Super Bowl and painting a vision. Secondly, he displayed team dimensions by knowing how to balance a team and also earning mutual respect. Later, I will state claims on how he was an ethical leader. First, he used reflective thinking, system 2 in critical thinking by using some decision making no one has ever used to ultimately win the Super Bowl. He also used the Three P’s (principles, purpose, and people) concept in the ethical leadership lesson on how he used those three principles to reach a common goal and display excellence in all we do. Additionally, I will tie his visionary and ethical leadership styles into my personal relevance and use some examples. Finally, I will conclude with a summary of the main points and end with a couple of quotes.

This awe-inspiring, mind-blowing athlete was able to single-handedly sack the quarterback backwards, using only his buttocks. Furthermore, he “spanked” him so hard that he managed to make the quarterback fumble the ball. This ball would be ran back thirty yards by the defense, all the way to the endzone, resulting in a Patriots’
